Every issue of Popular Science begins with two amazing, full-page images in a section called Megapixels. Here we have assembled all of those beautiful images from this year's issues and supplemented them with much, much more. Together, they tell a vivid story of the impressive year that was in science and tech. Launch the gallery below, and enjoy our favorite pictures of the year, all in one place:

These pictures cover the year that was 2010 in the way we'll remember it: from disasters like the Gulf oil spill and the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull to incredible achievements like the construction of the world's longest underground tunnel; from medical improvements like spray-on stem cells to discoveries like NASA's new arsenic-loving bacteria; and, not least, utter silliness like a six-wheeled sports car or an endless variety of lovable robots. It's amazing to see it all in one place--the good, the bad, the ugly, the tube-nosed fruit bat--and we think you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
